Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Running picoreplayer over a VPN
Thank you for adding openVPN to the 64-bit. I have been able to solve my problem. In the client.conf I changed the proto from UDP to UDP4. Now it is working, awesome!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Running picoreplayer over a VPN
Most are using it with a openvpn session on a rpi on either side. We are using nearly the latest openvpn and openssl is very recent too. Likely will have problems with old TLS implementations. 64bit has been added piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

I can see the VPN connection of the pcp in the asus webif, but picore shows errors ( TLS ERROR, TLS HANDSHAKE FAILED, INCOMING PLAINTEXT ERROR, CANNOT CREATE UDP SOCKET etc.)and does not connect to LMS. After a short period, i can not see the connection in the Asus webif anymore. Is anybody here using an Asus router and connecting pcp remotely to LMS? If so, could you please explain, in which way you are setting up the VPN on the router(cipher, tls, etc)? I think openvpn on pcp might be a different version to what the Asus router utilizes?

I have never needed to do anything "extra" from the standard Pcp as
regards NTP
I wrote a script that starts the VPN and checks the VPN connection every
10 minutes. It restarts OpenVPN if the remote network cannot be
contacted.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
sudo openvpn --config /home/tc/openvpn/config.conf &
VPNTest() {
#Check if the VPN is already being tested
if [ -f /home/tc/TestingVPN ]; then
echo "VPN is already being tested"
else
touch /home/tc/TestingVPN
# Get Local network address
homenet=$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep -Eo 'inet (addr:)?([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep
-Eo '([0-9]*\.){2}[0-9]*' | grep -v '127.0.0')
# Choose a host on the remote network
testhost=192.168.5.2
# If we can ping the host remote network then the VPN is up
if [ "$homenet" != "192.168.5" ]; then
count=$(ping -c 4 $testhost | grep 'received' | awk -F',' '{ print $2 }' |
awk '{ print $1 }')
if [ $count -eq 4 ]; then
hostup=yes
echo "VPN is UP"
else
echo "VPN is DOWN"
echo "Restarting OpenVPN"
sudo killall -HUP openvpn &
sleep 20
count=$(ping -c 4 $testhost | grep 'received' | awk -F',' '{ print $2 }' |
awk '{ print $1 }')
if [ $count -eq 4 ]; then
echo "VPN is now up"
else
echo "VPN is still down will try again next time this script is run"
fi
fi
else
# If we happen to be on the remote network without VPN
echo "We're Home !"
fi
rm -f /home/tc/TestingVPN
fi
}
while true
do
VPNTest
sleep 600
done
I added this to user command 1
Code:
/home/tc/Startvpn.sh
Seems to work fine

The [Boot] page shows the order that processes are run. So User commands (in do_rebootstuff.sh) are run after settime/getTime. But I just realised, the response from crond showing the time has been set comes up 10 or 15 seconds after the "Setup piCorePlayer complete". I do see on the odd occasion the time displayed on the web interface showing epoch instead of the correct time. I have assumed this is due to the fact that we can fire up the web interface before the ntp has completed setting the time. A refresh shows the correct date. Some of the startup commands are backgrounded, so commands can sometimes run before others have completed. Code: /usr/sbin/ntpd -q -p pool.ntp.org This is the standard command to set the time (maybe with sudo). Maybe a wait 5; before the openvpn command. If you like scripting, a wait loop checking that the time is not epoch before proceeding. I am just trying to eliminate one download and a extra command. Again, thanks for doing this. :) regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106895 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Running picoreplayer over a VPN
hi odw199, Great write up, thanks for your time and effort. :D I was wondering about what you said about ntp. piCorePlayer does do a ntp to set the time on boot. During development we sync changed files, so if the time isn't set correctly we would know fairly quickly. See [Main Page] in [Beta] mode > [Diagnostics] > [Boot] Then scroll down to /usr/bin/getTime.sh The [Boot] page shows the boot process. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106895 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Running picoreplayer over a VPN
I spent a while searching for a guide on how to get picoreplayer working over a vpn and couldn't find one. After a bit of trial and error, I managed to get a picoreplayer connecting my home network over a vpn, meaning I can have picloreplayers outside my home network and don't need to open up the LMS ports to the rest of the big bad internet. This post will guide you through setting ups vpn client on your picoreplayer and connecting it to a VPN server on your home network. The set up needs to be done with the picoreplayer connected to your home network directly, once completed you can move it to the remote network on the internet. My setup is as below: picoreplayer on raspberry Pi running version 3.10 out on the internet OpenVpn to connect to my home network Asus router providing the OpenVpn server. Mac Mini running LMS inside my home network First thing to do is configure your VPN server. My Asus router provides this very easily from its web interface. There's a link on the left hand side under advanced settings called VPN: 22004 Then click the OpenVPN button and make sure you are on the VPN server page (not VPN Client). You shouldn't need to set any advanced parameters, just leave everything default and set Enable OpenVPN Server to On: 22005 You'll also need to add a VPN user under the username and password section, for example: 22006 Once thats all done, hit apply and the VPN server should be running. I'm sure more details can be found on the OpenVPN and Asus forums... To configure the client end of the VPN, you'll need some specific configuration details from the VPN Server. Luckily, Asus routers will generate all this for you. Click the big export button and you should download an .opvn configuration file. Save this as we'll use the details when configuring the VPN client on the picoreplayer. Now it's time to get picoreplayer ready to run a VPN client: On the web interface, click the advanced tab at the bottom, this allows us to easily install some extensions we need: 22007 Then click the extensions button to take you to the extensions page. You want to make sure the Official piCore repository is selected under the Set extension repository section. If not, change to this and click set: 22008 You want to install two extensions: - ntp.tcz - openvpn.tcz Select each in turn and click load. This will install the ntp client (needed to make sure the time on picoreplayer is right - if it isn't the openvpn client won't connect) and the openvpn client. With both of these installed, it's time to switch to the command line and configure the VPN Client. Login on to your picloreplayer using ssh (use PuTTY on windows or just the command prompt on Linux/MacOs). You'll need to know the IP address of your picoreplayer on your home network. Once logged on, create a directory in the tc user's home directoy called openvpn" Code: cd /home/tc/ mkdir openvpn cd openvpn In this directory you need to create 5 files: CA.CRT In this file, paste in all the text between the and tags from the .ovpn file saved from the router. CLIENT.CRT In this file, paste in all the text between the and tags from the .ovpn file saved from the router. CLIENT.KEY In this file, paste in all the text between the and tags from the .ovpn file saved from the router. UP In this file, put the username and password created on the server openvpn page on your router, one per line. For example: Code: exampleUser examplePassword CLIENT.CONF In here goes all the other config you haven't yet used from the generated .ovpn file. One change you must make is to add "up" after auth-user-pass. My client.conf is below (your remote hostname will be different, the port should be the same) Code: client dev tun proto udp remote example.hostname.com 1194 float comp-lzo adaptive keepalive 15 60 auth-user-pass /home/tc/openvpn/up ns-cert-type server resolv-retry infinite nobind Now we must create a backup of the files we created, otherwise they will all be lost when picoreplayer reboots (I learnt this the hard way after re-typing the config multiple times :-()) Code: /usr/local/sbin/pcp bu [ INFO ] Backing up files to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/mydata.tgz| Done. [ OK ] Backup successful. All the command line stuff is done now so you can log out. The last step is to have picoreplayer set the date and time through ntpdate and then start the openvpn client at boot. This can all be done through the web interface. On the TWEAKS page, find the section near the end called User commands. In the first box, type: Code: sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org In the second box type: Code: sudo openvpn --ca /home/tc/openvpn/ca.crt --cert /home/tc/openvpn/client.crt --key
